Reach Plc is the UK’s largest commercial news publisher. We’re home to more than 130 trusted brands, from national titles like the Mirror, Express, Daily Record and Daily Star, to local brands like MyLondon, BelfastLive and the Manchester Evening News.

Since the start of 2023, we have been building out our US operation, headquartered at 200 Liberty St, New York. We’ve launched four standalone brands in the Mirror US, Express US, the Irish Star and Liverpool.com covering news, sport, entertainment, politics and lifestyle - all targeted at US audiences.

This is an office based role working from our New York office, we are therefore open to candidates based in or commutable to New York. 

Shifts are done on a rolling rota basis, including evenings and weekends, and successful candidates will be required to be flexible around team availability and as a result of current news affairs, and so we therefore require a level of flexibility in this role. 


Who we are looking for
You will have gained professional experience at a national or major regional publication and be able to demonstrate the ability to craft original, compelling narratives across a range of news topics from hard news to digital-first, shareable content.
